Each year, the very prestigious ceremony of British Academy Television Craft Awards is held in London to reward the best British technical productions on the small screen. But lately, video-on-demand applications have been in the spotlight, so this category has been included in the selection process. In 2022, the promotion notably selected two documentaries available on Apple TV+ (4.99 euros per month).
1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything (best sound)
To begin with, it is 1971: The Year that music changed everything who wins for the best soundtrack ahead of another TV+ creation, Earth at night in color, a documentary on Netflix’s Formula 1 and the funeral of Prince Philip of England on BBC One. The eight-part series evokes the success of several artists such as Elton John, Ringo Starr or Jimmy Iovine. The co-founder of the beats company notably sold the company to Apple in 2014 for several billion dollars.
The work also focuses on the American singer Graham Nash, who notably met fame with the group The Hollies. At the realization, we find Asif Kapadia (Standard Operating Procedure, The Me you can’t see, The Tale of Thomas Burberry), Danielle Peck (Wonders of the solar system, A night with the stars, Twentieth century battlefields) and James Rogan (Generation Libya, Panorama, Subnormal).
9/11: Inside the President’s War Room (best edit)
With this, the BAFTA Craft 2022 also rewarded the documentary 9/11: Inside the President’s War Room which retraces the career of the President of the States George W. Bush during the September 11, 2021 attacks on the occasion of their twentieth anniversary.
Several speakers have been invited on the occasion, such as former Republican Vice-President Dick Cheney, ABC journalist Peter Jennings, General Colin Powell or even former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
In the narration, we find Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom, Godless, The Catcher was a spy) but it is above all the team in charge of the video that is to be saluted here. It is Mark Hammill (Petals, The Big Body Hotel, Richard Hammond’s Workshop) and of Danny Collins (Louis and the Nazis, Life and death row, Educating Greater Manchester).
